@@mikegibson8867 Haha BRILLIANT! I love this weather. I know its not ideal for others but I get so sick of the sun and the heat 🤣

Informative video. Enjoy the Marina reviews. I stayed on that island but had to grab mooring ball, Marina was full in August. As you said, then headed to Hvar. Loved it.

[@45DegreesSailing]

Thanks mate. Yes August is always crazy.

[@everest_CFA]

This is very helpful.

[@45DegreesSailing]

Thanks Wazza.

Hvala Ted. Thanks for watching!

Hi Nick I just spent two nights there the 23rd and 24th. Great Marina. Sorry I missed you. We are now at Vrboska.

[@45DegreesSailing]

Great to hear! We love Vrboska, I hope you got to eat at Trica Gardelin! Its our favourite :) Will likely be back in the Pakleni's tomorrow night. Hanging out at Komiža right now. How is the wind in Vrboska?

[@navpjm]

@@45DegreesSailing Thanks Nick, we will eat at Trica Gardelin tonight. We had dinner at Toto's the other night on your recommenation, very nice thank you. We spent our first night, Wednesday last week in Komiza after our trip across from Pescara Italy. Komiza has some amazing seafood restaurants. Regards Philip

[@CostasStavrou]

Great video !!let us know please all these marinas you describe what is the max length and draft that can berth !

[@rinoplexx1473]

Great video, I have never been there, Must be interesting. How is it going, how's the kid?😊

[@45DegreesSailing]

Nice place. At the right time ;) Rau is great! Missing her a lot while we are away.

[@cornelceapchi9700]

We stopped there around noon one day in 2016 and the marina guys on the pier asked for the boat papers quite aggressively, even though we asked to stay for 30min to get water in the tanks. It took us 2h to chase our documents back and ended up paying 50EUR. Absolutely ridiculous! On the opposite experience, we stopped in Stari Grad around 11am, for a short stroll and late breakfast, we were told we can stay for free for couple of hours before boats were coming in with reservations. Maybe this has changed since then?

[@45DegreesSailing]

Well one is a commercial privately-owned marina chain in THE most popular area on the Dalmatian Coast. The other is a government-run town pier. I think that ACI Palmižana has better staff these days than it had back in 2016, but you will generally always get a more relaxed approach from the guys at the various Lučka Uprava around Dalmatia. Unless it’s one of those days when there is a storm forecast and no one wants to leave… Then it’s much harder to squeeze in for a water fill up and a leisurely breakfast!

[@christianvongraeve]

Hello Nick, in this video someone jumps from the cliffs/rocks. Can you say me where this is? Best wishes

[@45DegreesSailing]

Hi there. At what time in the video is it? I will check for you :)

[@christianvongraeve]

Hi Nick, between 0.20 and 0.30 seconds :-) Best wishes from Munich@@45DegreesSailing

@@christianvongraeve ​​⁠aha! Yes in our intro sequence. That is me jumping the the ‘Zelena Špilja’ the green cave, south side of Vis Island.

[@christianvongraeve]

@@45DegreesSailing thank you very much. I’m starting a one week trip in June from Trogir and searching for some special acts …

[@45DegreesSailing]

@@christianvongraeve well if you know you know! And remember we do have out Itinerary Planning service if you want all the inside info ;) Next time charter through us!

[@GrahamDrinkwater-c3e]

It sure is expensive. 96 for my 32 per night in May. However we were well protected from a strong SE'ly. Try the laundry, it only costs 22 for a washing machine and 15 for a drier 😮

[@45DegreesSailing]

22 and 15… EURO!?!? Faaaaar out

[@GrahamDrinkwater-c3e]

​Perhaps the girl in the reception registered my surprise at the prices after I mentioned we feed the machines with about 5 euros up north in Aprilia Marittima (home berth). 5 or 6 in Marina di Brindisi and down in Preveza recently. BR

[@re5pekt100]

How is the docking / manouvering with 55ft boat in there? It seems rather tight everywhere!

[@45DegreesSailing]

Its tight for sure, sometimes you just have to wait for the outer yachts to leave first. I wouldn't usually park that far down that pier with this yacht, but the swell was hitting the other areas and marina was only 50% full. So it worked out good. Its ok to manoeuvre in there as long as the wind isnt too strong.

[@re5pekt100]

@@45DegreesSailing i checked your shortie video from drone and there is no way that the mid boat oposite the catmaran can get out!😅😅. I have booked with Kufner 54ft boje in Vinogradisce instead. Its 60 EUR ("only") and less risk for me with 54ft for the 1st time. I have chickened out😅

[@45DegreesSailing]

@@re5pekt100 haha. You mean the one with the grey tops and the sundeck cushions on the bow? That’s the Hanse 548 that we are on. No way? Wait for tomorrows video… 😉

[@45DegreesSailing]

@@re5pekt100 and yes Vinogradišće is a great option for this as long as there is not a swell getting into the bay (SE). It’s not chickening out! It’s being conservative and realistic!

[@re5pekt100]

@@45DegreesSailing yes, thats the one I am talking about, haha, well, good luck then😅😅. I would very much appretiate instruction video from taking off from that spot mate. That would be awesome!!!

Welcome

[@steveduxbury7955]

Picking up Jasmine Hanse 588 from Trogir on 8th July. Would you recommend booking our moorings in advance? Last time I sailed here was on Vidar Hanse 575 at the beginning of June 2018 and didn’t need to book anything in advance. It’s so difficult to decide where to go when you only have a week to do it in 😅

[@45DegreesSailing]

Great! I sailed past her on Saturday leaving Trogir! Nice yacht. We often take a 588. Love that model. Well that is why we offer our Itinerary Planning service when you charter through us! Yes I would suggest booking what moorings/berths you can in advance. It’s getting busy out here.

[@lovropirkl2672]

I tend to avoid this place. Last time I was here with my family was in 2009. We paid 1200 kuna (160€) for a 36 foot boat. The marina back then didn't have power or fresh water or toilet facilities and shops. It was literally a big money pit in the middle of nowhere and you still have to pay the crazy prices of water taxis to get to Hvar. One time my father and aunt were in the port of Hvar and their anchor slipped in 2 o'clock in the morning. They docked in palmižana for a total of four hours(they left by 6 AM) and still had to pay the 1200 kuna docking fee. There wasn't even someone on the dock ti lift them a mooring... At least they offer the basic amenities now.

[@micokastela]

Did you go and see your connections there?

[@45DegreesSailing]

Never miss a connection. Except this time... I didnt see anyone!

[@45DegreesSailing]

😬

[@evanbetter]

while I understand the croatians wanting to get a good living out of their facilities it comes to a point of a sheer rip-off. 200 bucks is the price of a very nice hotel in croatia (and many other places) with a dry warm bed and breakfast.

[@45DegreesSailing]

Yes it is getting crazy. Though ACI is a large company and not just Croatian owned. The government run Lučka Uprava, Town Riva's, are much better priced (and still quite expensive).
